Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 22, 2008 - Dark crimson purple in colour. Nose is aromatically challenged - some graphite, asphalt and sprinkling of spices, clove, nutmeg. There's a very faint trace of sweet flowers on it - hiding in the background somewhere. Big wine in the mouth, far from elegant. Big baked red fruits, rhubarb, cherry, some cinnamon stick and then some big spiciness comes through together with the heat of alcohol. Midpalate is like chewing a hot spice cake - the finish is long and well integrated continuing on the jammy red fruits. big, ripe and spicy - if this is your thing this wine will work great for you it does it extremely well. For me, not elegant enough.
